About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Vizient Announces Trends for Providers to Strategize in 2024

By: via Business Wire

Vizient, Inc. announced it has released trends providers should strategize for in 2024. These include payer strategy, ambulatory design considerations, an approach to primary care access and the importance of targeted technology adoption. View 2024: A Year for Bold Bets.

“Where and how healthcare providers invest their resources is a crucial question,” said Bill Woodson, senior principal, Intelligence at Sg2, a Vizient company. “Those decisions will ultimately impact financial performance, market position, and in the end, patient care delivery.”

The trends are projected based on market research and data analysis, including proprietary Sg2 all-payer claims data. Based on the data and in-house expertise, Vizient is advising providers to:

  • Revisit their payer strategy: Medicare Advantage now represents two-thirds of the total Medicare population in some markets and the number of Medicaid enrollees continues to grow. With a high proportion of Medicare and Medicaid enrollees in managed care, providers should have a strategy that proactively addresses total cost of care as a market play.
  • Re-evaluate their ambulatory business model: As the shift from inpatient to outpatient care continues to accelerate, an ambulatory strategy must be designed to meet consumer expectations. Providers should also work to understand their consumer purchasing patterns and get ahead of forthcoming price transparency mandates.
  • Change the game in primary care: Primary care in traditional office settings will shrink to less than 50% of market share by 2030, according to Sg2, as payer-owned and retail healthcare models surge. Analytics can help pinpoint key growth segments. Providers should keep an eye on new-market entrants and use analytics to determine gaps those entrants address before deciding whether to partner or compete.
  • Differentiate through targeted technology adoption: Technology adoption is crucial to effectively managing accelerating consumer needs. Evolving AI tools, home DNA testing, new cellular-based therapies, telehealth visits and use of digital devices that capture real-time health trends all show exponential growth.

“2024 must be a year of inside-out focus for healthcare organizations. Investing time, talent and capital in areas that better meet patient need today and address what tomorrow’s patients will demand is essential,” said Woodson. “A focus on these vital areas will help providers on their journey to cost, quality and market performance alignment.”
